gpg takes system handles and not libc file descriptors. File descriptors 0, 1, and 2 are handled by Windows in a different. All other depend on which ABI you work. cmd.exe seems to expect file descriptors which is good for scripting but gpg is rarely used in such a scripting environment but usuallay directly executed by CreateProcess and thus expects HANDLE values and not file descriptors. See gnupg/common/sysutils.c:translate_sys2libc_fd Actually it would be possible to provide an option to disable this translation and instead use libc file descriptors (with all the fun if different runtimes are used) but in more than 20 years we have not seen such a demand.
